Like some of the other posters, I am involved with the ASV in Melbourne with the Astronomy for the People program. We also take scopes to local schools or other group events and show people the heavens. I must admit I get a bit of a buzz when someone sees Alpha Centauri for the firs time and see two stars! It usually blows their mind!
I think if we can at least make some of the kids go "wow" we will have achieved something. As for getting the government to do something, as usual they only push there own barrows! We need to find someone from IIS who wants to run for office!
